Come As You Are.... but be sure to create your Nirvana!

I will quote, in a bit, the opening lyrics of  the famous rock band Nirvana. A group I was exposed to at about 16 years of age ... along with many slapstick and soul filled jams - all compliments of family, friends and my own listening ear.

Oh, those were the Christmas's! Everyone together and laughing, toasting, feasting, doing breakfast shifts, playing, playing board games and kids games, playing bad piano, ballroom dancing.. and then just getting down on the dance floor! A week long Christmas party at my grandparents!

No,  Nirvana's Come As You Are certainly didn't belong to family Christmas's,  but it did momentarily to my own teens with some fleeting exposure to the rock group. And for the longest while I've since forgotten them, however offensive that may be to Nirvana fans!

However, tonight's recollection comes as an adult and in a totally different context. One of life and business to be exact. In my ongoing and unshakable belief in the excellence of soul and of aspiring to achieve personal and global legacy.  Make no mistake, I know how life can be filled with highs, lows and averages (and No, not in Nirvana narcotics contexts!), rather just as life we all can relate to at some stage.

I guess what I am certainly expressing is that yes, while you're born a certain way, into a certain set of certainties and molded into uncertainties, do use the opportunity of Life - Greatly and Grandly. To engage the  abundant, magnificent and ingeniously awaiting proposal of Life. 

To not stay as you came. Push boundaries, pull plugs,  raise bars, shift, broaden territories, create the game...reset when must. Come as you are, but don't leave as your were. 

Leave/Live better, accomplished and wiser.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
